Notes[]

  • While 2014's Super Hero Taisen ZIcon-crosswiki website claims that the Metal Hero franchise ends with B-Fighter Kabuto. Over nearly a decade after the film's release, Robotack is still officially considered as a Metal Hero Series by Toei and was eventually established as such by the time of the Space Sheriff 40th Anniversary in 2022.
